Gaven..Berhalter is not concerned with games in handEastern conference opponents Atlanta United, Montreal, and New York Red Bull all have a ton of additional games left to gain points over the Crew. Atlanta United has 4 more games. Montreal and New York Red Bull both have two.Nevertheless, could come back to hurt those teams.

Atlanta United for example plays 7 games in 21 days in September!

“There’s going to be some heavy fixtures some teams are going to be facing. If you look at Atlanta’s schedule in September, it’s brutal, so you have a number of factors that come into play there,” Berhalter said.

Here's Atlanta's September:

9/10 vs. Dal, 9/13 vs. NE, 9/16 v. ORL, 9/20 vs. LA, 9/24 vs. MTL, 9/27 vs. PHI, 9/30 @ NE.“We think it’s still in our hands and we think with eight games left that we have, we think, if we can take care of our home games, we can do a good job with our home games, we can make a couple results away from home, we’ll be fine.”Link.

Schelotto..LA Galaxy could even be less great than 2017 usual tomorrowDown two starters..

#LAGalaxy will be missing Giovani dos Santos (hamstring) in addition to Jermaine Jones (foot) on Wednesday in Columbus.

Count three if you want to throw Van Damme in there as he returned to Belgium to sign with Royal Antwerp last week. If Crew SC doesn't get a win tomorrow at home, with the games in hand, I would start to worry.No excuses other than three points tomorrow. Hejduk..Crewture going to tomorrow's gameWednesday is my day off so coming tomorrow from where I live in Western PA.
